Blue Sky Ecological Reserve to Lake Poway Hike - Feb. 8
Saturday, February 8, 2020
Blue Sky Ecological ReserveJoin the Rock Church Pt. Loma Hiking Ministry family as we hike Blue Sky Ecological Reserve in Poway. It's always a fun time of fellowship and enjoying the beauty of God's creation!
We will travel to Poway and start our adventure at the Blue Sky Ecological Reserve trailhead, turn right about a mile in and head towards Lake Poway. At the half-way point, we will take a hydration/snack break and do worship. We will circle the lake and return the way we came. More information on the reserve and trails can be found here.
This moderate-level hike is 5.3 miles long, with some hills, and is kid and dog-friendly. Dogs must be on leash. Please self-evaluate your fitness and hiking levels before attempting this hike.
Hope to see you there! If anyone wishes to do lunch afterwards, we can set something up.
Join us for coffee at the Mission Valley Starbucks (in the Costco Ikea Shopping Center)
